A Diary Of Darkness

im usually not a person that likes jumpscares or creepy things but lately ive been wanting to play games like these. only took me less than a week for both parts it was that good!! the puzzles are pretty hard (for me they were, it’s different for all people) and the game was filled with adrenaline rushes and minor jumpscares. There is two things that I didn’t like about this game. First, THE ADS. walk into a room? Ad. open a chest or drawer? Usually an ad. Second, (spoiler sorry!) at the end, when we have to sacrifice a newborn, I had no idea I was going to do such a thing. Maybe if there is ever a third part of some sort, please don’t add something like that. Me being a Catholic was NOT expecting a sacrifice of a child for my freedom 😭 other than that this game was super fun and highly recommended by me.

This was reminiscent of Rusty Lake. It was dark, had decent puzzles, and was fun. However, many of the clues are so tiny, that they couldn’t be read, or seen. I had to resort to a walkthrough video to find clues, and even then, I still could not see them. They were pale colored, blending into the rest of the surroundings, and so small that you couldn’t make out what it was. There was no way to enlarge the area, without taking a screenshot, then zooming in on that. Even then, because of faded colors, it was still a bit difficult to see. Once again, even the help videos only pointed you to the general vicinity of where an item was located, because if you didn’t click exactly, in the correct spot on that clue, it wouldn’t select the clue. I’d give this game a 5 if not for these, and similarly related problems. Besides that, I’d love to play more like this

I really liked the play of this game but I ran into a few problems. 1) You have to tap EXACTLY on the right spot, and I mean EXACT. It was frustrating because I was correct in a few instances but gave up after the endless tapping. It wasn’t until I looked up a walkthrough then went back over it a few times that it just happened to work that time. Yikes! 2) You can’t really close up on a lot of the clues. I have a brand new IPhone 13 Pro, so details shouldn’t have been a problem, but they were. 3) The hints a kind of useless 😂. I love a challenge, but when you are stuck and the hint is simply circling an item you already have or a puzzle you’ve already solved, it’s very unhelpful. 4) It’s very glitchy. The sound stopped working completely mid game. After getting stuck on a puzzle I went to open a cabinet and the item that was already used and gone was magically there again. Then, nothing I tapped worked at all. Finally, I tried to report the bug in the settings, but it was glitching so bad, I couldn’t! I ended up having to delete the game completely and try to reload. Like I said, I loved the play of the game. These are my favorite kind of room escape games and since I had already played all the Rusty Lake Games ( the best) I was crazing something similar. I would be on board if these little adjustments were made for a more enjoyable play.
